Loose and cozy cardigans were all over the runway in the Spring 2010 menswear shows. The V-neck option was the most popular with easy buttons to close it. While many had a reasonable depth of v-neck, there were some designers who did opt for a deep v version.
While this may sound like grandpa couture, the final look was far from it. Pictures in the slideshow include pieces from Burberry Prorsum, E Zegna, Ferragamo, Giorgio Armani, Hermes, Jil Sander, Missoni, Paul Smith, Prada and Versace.
